Question Two homes?

I fear that I am a thoughtless mommy I have two "homes." I have an apartment with my boyfriend, but a lot of times I stay with my family, because they live closer to where I work and it makes driving affordable for me ( it is an hour's difference in the commute!) Paddington has thus far lived at my family's house, and is really used to his routine here. Training has been going smoothly, and he's learned where all of his stuff is. I have had him here for almost a week. Now I am packing him up to go stay at my apartment. It is a large apartment, but not as big as my family's house of course. I think the harder thing will be the fact that there aren't any people there besides my boyfriend and me. I have a large family, so there are always quite a few people here to play with him and give him attention. He'll have to be crated more often, which actually he likes and he even stays in his crate when the door is open. But still, I'm afraid it is too many changes when he just got used to this other home.

On the other hand, he seems to be a quick adjuster. He's very smart, and I'm sure that after a few days in the apartment he'll generalize his training. I'm also thinking that maybe with less people, he'll be less distracted and hyper. Training him might be much easier without all the traffic that goes through my family's house.

I'm just concerned. We'll see how he does.
